Armed with little more than a big idea, an intrepid spirit, and minimal seed capital, Swedish entrepreneur Christian von Koenigsegg pulled off the unthinkable before the age of 30. The self-professed petrol head produced a supercar of his own design with capabilities so astounding that it upended the performance world, besting some long-established supercar stalwarts. Guinness Book of World Records deemed his 655-horsepower 2002 Koenigsegg CC8S the most powerful production car in the world. Three years later, his subsequent CCR broke another official record, this time for fastest production car, with a top speed exceeding 240 mph.

Over the next two decades, Koenigsegg kept ahead of the supercar establishment, breaking more records in the process, with astute engineering and nimble business practices. The scrappy startups small batches of increasingly bonkers megacars always incorporated some measure of in-house innovation well outside the purview of traditional automakers be it 3D-printed turbochargers, ultralight hydraulics, carbon nanotube illumination, or the worlds most power-dense electric motors.

I could have made my life easier, von Koenigsegg told MotorTrend in 2023. Half of the strangeness we have done would have been enough. But innovation, along with performance and function, is what drives me.

Koenigseggs first hybrid hypercar, the Regera, debuted in production form at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, replete with the companys signature dihedral synchro-helix doors that rotate upward while opening outward for better ingress and egress in close quarters. The cars impressively strong carbon fiber monocoque allowed for a removable roof panel without compromising structural integrity, making the Regera one of the fastest convertibles ever produced. Typical of Koenigseggs thoughtful engineering, the single-piece top can be stowed within the nose of the vehicle.

Although an evolution of the companys distinctive aesthetics, materials, and construction, the Regera represents a big step forward in propulsion technology with its remarkable Koenigsegg Direct Drive, capable of more than 1,500 horsepower and 1,475 pound-feet of torque. A 5.0-liter V-8 engine produces 1,100 horsepower with the help of two 3-D-printed variable turbochargers and a patented exhaust system designed to negate turbo lag. Three axial flux electric motors one on the main driveshaft and each of the rear-axle half shafts deliver another 700 horsepower with torque-vectoring capabilities. The systems 800-volt battery pack features F1-derived cell technology that can deliver up to 500 kilowatts at once, discharging and recharging 10 times faster than conventional EV batteries while weighing far less.

The linchpin of the entire system is the so-called HydraCoup, a bespoke hydraulic torque converter that replaces a conventional transmission together with the electric motors. Once the motors get the car up to speed from a standstill, the HydraCoup enables smooth, progressive power transfer from the V-8 engine to the Regeras single-speed driveline, which essentially operates in the equivalent of seventh gear at all times.

In 2019, a Regera broke the 0 400 0 km/h world production-car record its predecessor, the Agera RS, established two years prior, accomplishing the same feat in just 31.49 seconds, nearly two seconds quicker. In total, Koenigsegg produced just 80 examples of the Regera from 2016 to 2020.

This Regera was delivered new to its current and only owner in Mexico City in January 2021 through Esser Automotive, the official Koenigsegg dealer in Germany, according to the Koenigsegg Registry. It has been kept alternately in Mexico City and Miami, the two cities where the owner splits his time.

The stunning exterior features blue-tinted carbon fiber with subtle platinum highlights on the doors, front air intakes, and the models signature, hollow-core carbon fiber wheels, further accentuated with white brake calipers. The optional Ghost Package adds aerodynamic fins on the front, sides, and rear, while the interior is tastefully finished in white leather with contrast stitching.

Now offered from single ownership showing just 2,123 km (1,319 miles) at cataloguing time, this world-beating hybrid hypercar is sure to take center stage in even the most impressive supercar collection.
